It makes no difference where
the all-cotton theory originat-
ed, nor who propagates it, it is
a long range repeating gun
loaded with poisonous gas to
living at home and thus limit
the cotton crop to a quantity
that would pay a dividend and
clothe the people.

Spray the Fruit Orchards Now.
We have sold one new spray-
ing machine to a aommunity
hnvingnone and it started to
work Tuesday. We still have
another and plenty of lime-Sul-
phur; also a few extra nozzles
and extra parts to help you fix
up your old mrtchine | if you
need such. By all means get
your machinery going while
the weather is good and the
correct time to put it on Is
here. In only a few weeks it
will be too late and your trees
will probably ruin in another
year without spraying. Be
sure to take off all dried up
fruit or mummies before spray-
ing and bury same or burn
them. These contain brown
rot fungus, and throwing them

bd here by the time you and
the seasons are ready for them.
We found last year that we
planted a little early on some
of these crops. The nice rain
Sunday and the middle of Jan-
uary both make planting pos-
sible with fair promise of suc-
cess. It might be so far to
risk only part of the acreage to
radishes, English peas cabbage,
onions, beets mustard and tur-
nips now, the other to be plant-
ed early in February.
Cotton ought to be the main
money crop with most fanners
this year, but where it is pos-
sible to make the expense oi
the cotton crop on a few acres
to staple truck crops, the con-
mon sense thing to do is t<>
not risk every thing on cotton
for most of us remember tlial
cotton don't always make a
crop and expenses pile u<>
while the cotton is making or
failing to make. Many farm-
ers are so situated that with I
judicious planting, the expense
of the farm can be taken can
of after March until tho cot-
ton crop is gathered next fall,
from the truck crops of just
a few acres. Let's plan our
crops to do this with a mini-

Strengthened by Winnsboro
Experiences.
Kidney disease is too danger-
ous to neglect. At the first
sign of backache, headache,
dizziness or urinary disorders,
you should give the weakened
kidneys prompt attention. Eai
little meat, take things easier
and use a reliable kidney tonic.
There's no other kidney med-
icine so well recommended as
Doan's Kidney Pills. Winns-
boro pe pie rely on them.
Heres one of the many state-
ments from Winnsboro people.
Mrs. J. E. Coats, Mill St.,
says,: "My kidneys were wmkl

aches made me miserable. The
action of my kidneys was ir-

Kidney Pills and used them.
They rid me of the backaches
and my energy was soon re-
stored, so 1 felt better in ev-
ery way."
